ABSTRACT
Despite its importance for understanding clusters, there are few direct measurements of ICM velocity structure. Hitomi measured velocities in Perseus with its groundbreaking high resolution detector, although due to its loss we will have to wait several years until XARM and Athena for further results. We have shown the EPIC-pn Cu background line can be used to calibrate its energy scale and so measure ICM velocities. We propose deep observations of the Centaurus cluster to produce a high resolution map of the velocity structure of the ICM, to study the Cen~30-Cen~45 merging system, the sloshing within the cluster and bulk motions induced by AGN feedback. We will jointly map dynamical and thermodynamical structure across a cluster with unprecedented accuracy.

PAPERS
Authors marked in red are (co-)investigators in the proposal

Classification of papers are:
- CLASS 1:   papers that present specific XMM-Newton observations
- CLASS 2: papers that refer to published XMM-Newton results with complementary observations, follow-up analysis, or theoretical analysis
- CLASS 3: further deliveries which resulted from the program and which are made available to the community (e.g. source catalogues, processed images or spectra in public data base)
- CLASS 4: comments and suggestions from PI
